CELEBRATING THE COMPOSITIONS OF WAYNE SHORTER, JAZZ SPECTRUM on WGTE, 18 MARCH 2023

Last week’s show was all Wayne Shorter’s playing on many of these very same tunes as selected by the regular host. He was a wonderful saxophonist, playing with both Art Blakey and Miles Davis (and essentially their music directors/composers) in two of the finest bands of their eras.

On the shared notion that he is also in the next tier of jazz composers just below Ellington/Strayhord and Monk, I took the assignment of showing how the tunes breathe and have a life of their own in the hands of the ever evolving jazz community.

My method was to find interesting/favorite players take up these tunes. Often I relied on the Secondhand Songs website for suggestions. But I had some definite ideas, such as relying on Palladium, an ensemble organized by Jesse Markowitz that plays Wayne Shorter music and includes young heroes like Nicole Glover and Sean Mason. Then there’s both Shorter tunes on the Jimmy Rowles/Stan Getz desert istand album, The Peacocks. And, what to do with the Weather Report era? Easy, Christian McBride did one with his pianoless quartet, New Jawn, that nonetheless conveys all the keyboards and percussion.

That was my first set: Palladium’s ESP that includes Shorter’s own voice, Sightseeing, and Lester Left Town.

I first heard Palladium when they did all of Speak No Evil, so that was the next idea with an array of artists and ensembles assaying that brilliant album.

Sanctuary from Ingrid Jensen and Jason Miles, and, at the end of the night, Masqualero with Marc Copland addressed Shorter’s contribution to Miles’ Bitches Brew. And I closed with Sean Mason’s meditative solo piano version of Weather Report’s Palladium as yet another reflection on how the electric tunes are above all tunes with life beyond the production elements.

But mostly I dug into the Blakey and Miles era tunes from the likes of Dave Liebman/Richie Beirach in Quest, the Dave Douglas/Joe Lovano Shorter tribute band, George Cables, Mary Halvorson in Thumbscrew, Fred Hersch (a couple of times), Kenny Werner.

I took the liberty with the Song of the Week segment to make Footprints the Tune of the Week bookending the original with his return to it with his wonderful latter era quartet. There’s Kenny Barron in there along with the SF Jazz Collective (Renee Rosnes arranged the tune).

It’s all pianists at the end.

Jane Ira Bloom - Early Americans

had my coffee with her this morning also welcome @22308-1007

[coochiequeens]

This information does not suggest a jazz landscape where women and men participate equally, but where a small, selective group of women sometimes receive attention as exceptional talents. The names of female artists who frequent the top of the poll would likely be familiar to jazz fans: big band leader Maria Schneider, saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom, pianists Myra Melford and Carla Bley, clarinetist Anat Cohen, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, flutist Nicole Mitchell and the late pianist Geri Allen prominent among them. They appear in the poll time and time again. (It is also worth noting the labels that these women record for: Although a handful appear on jazz stalwarts like Verve, Concord and ECM, and some self-release their projects, more of them record for prominent indies favored by critics such as Intakt, Motema, Greenleaf, Clean Feed and Firehouse 12.) Here are some names to look up to support women in music.

Jane Ira Bloom | The Red Quartets

Jane Ira Bloom is a jazz soprano saxophonist (and recent winner of the Downbeat Critics Poll for best jazz soprano saxophonist) who plays in a mostly post-bop style that occasionally veers just a little out of the traditional without ever quite going full avant-garde (at least not on this album, anyway).  Part of the reason I bought this album was because Fred Hersch, one of my favorite pianists, plays piano on it, and of course he’s excellent as always.  The two of them are accompanied by bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Bobby Previte - not really familiar with those guys.  The program on this one consists of several originals with a couple of standards thrown in (Time After Time and How Deep Is The Ocean).  Bloom’s style is highly melodic but not quite swinging in perhaps the way that, say, Charles Lloyd is.  Monk’s Rec Room really does have the quirky sound of a Monk composition set to a playful tempo, and It’s A Corrugated World features some Afro-Cuban influence, especially in Hersch’s excellent solo.  Five Full Fathoms is probably the most ‘out’ track on here, and that’s one I don’t mind calling full-on avant-garde, but for the most part this album is definitely what I would call post-bop.  It’s really enjoyable - I think fans of Fred Hersch or of Keith Jarrett (especially his quartet stuff) would like this.

PROGRAMMER’S NOTES, JAZZ SPECTRUM, 4 JUNE 2022

While there is an obvious gimmick that defines this show, I took the challenge of finding songs with women’s names in alphabetical order as a structuring convention that could define this invention the way the Rhythm changes launches countless wonderful improvisations, even more, compositions.

This show is about the tunes and there are many favorites here, precisely because the composers are paying tributes to loved ones. There is a lushness, a poignancy, an ache, and a beauty because they are love songs.

My Romance is a fitting Song of the Week and I culminate with Bill Evans/Scott LaFaro/Paul Motian at The Village Vanguard in 1961. But there are other rich versions, even vocals by Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn. And there’s more of that band with Waltz for Debby and Gloria’s Step.

There would have been Alice in Wonderland too, but the show’s host pared things down in effective and interesting ways. In any case, I wanted to start with Eric Dolphy’s Miss Ann. The changes he made improved the show. So let me count the other ones:

—Sam Rivers’ own Beatrice rather than Stan Getz with Kenny Barron.

—Ingrid Jensen’s Christiane, not the Buster Williams Christiana by Sphere.

My two choices would have been recent repeats, precisely because they are favorites.

—The tribute to Emily Dickinson is nice on two levels. I very much like the Johnny Mercer tune, but our host went against his inclination and played it recently. So it is not a love song, instead a nice tribute for a significant women artist by a woman composer. That’s what Melissa Aldana’s Frida by Artemis which follows also is.

—I had Clifford Brown also doing Portrait of Jenny hard on the heels of him Jacqui. Louis Smith’s is another fine version

And, yes, I put Charlie Parker’s Kim in there. It’s my show and my name.

I had started My Romance in the middle of a set, not at the top of the third hour, a way the concept became a constraint. But he fixed that.

O is hard, so I went with Charles Mingus’s Orange Was The Color of Her Dress. Q is hard too, but I had two, sort of, with the Sons of Kemet’s tribute to Harriet Tubman from My Queen Is A Reptile and Jackie McLean’s Song for My Queen. There are two Ns, but Nefertiti as one of them is a nod in this direction too.

It gets to be late in the show but there are two Monk tunes and three performances with the poignant solo version of Ruby My Dear when she was ill and Monk had to go on as well as the version when John Coltrane was in the band.

I guess there isn’t any Ellington/Strayhorn, but Monk and Shorter, Mingus, Golson, and Parker. If it’s about the tunes—and it most definitely is—then the likes of them had to be here. But there’s much love and beauty here that transcends what could be a gimmick too clever by half.

#003-9m88

9m88 Singer-Songwriter

Based in Taipei,Taiwan

Genre:R&B/Jazz/Hiphop

Instagram:＠9m88

Q: Can you describe the city where you live and based?

I’m now living in my hometown Taipei,Taiwan. I moved back to the city from NY 3 years ago. It’s a fun city, pretty good food and night life here. Yet, as COVID hits the world, I haven’t gotten out and had any form of entertainment or so. I guess it’s like that at many places too.

Q: What kind of music is being popular right now where you’re based?

Hmm, it’s R&B and HipHop I would say. It comes a bit late but as a participant of the genres, it’s a good thing!

Q: What did prompt you to start playing music?

I’ve always love singing. I didn’t start wanting to write my own music until I finished my BA in fashion. I covered many songs but at that point I had an urge to write something myself, so I moved to NY and started my music exploration. NY city plays a big role in my music career.

Q: What kind of music are you creating now?

Soul-R&B slash singer-songwriter slash Jazz-influenced sounds.

Q: Where do you get your inspiration from?

Foods and Plants these days. I figured I have to live my life to feel things so inspiration may arrive at the door.

Q: Do you have any mentor? And why she or he is your mentor?

Erykah Badu is a mentor in my music life even though I don’t personally know her. Reggie Workman and Jane Ira Blooms are two of the musician professors who influenced me a lot when studying at The New School Jazz.

Q: Do you have any social issues that you pay attention to recently? And why?

I mean there’s so much happening right now. From the pandemic to Afghanistan. Sometimes I feel our brains are cramped with information and news. We sure need to pay attention to what’s going on around the world. But if you are too overwhelmed by information, you might need to take care of yourself first.

Q: What aspect of your personality haven’t been changed since your childhood?

Very stubborn and want things to be done my own way.

Q: Do you have any fashion brands that you like?

Chanel, Jacquemus, Peter Do…I try to check out  some fresh brands whenever I can.

Q: Any music genres that you are really into right now?

I started to dig some indie/alt pop songs with a bit folklore touch. And I also listen to a lot more Brazilian music these days.

Q: How/what equipment/gadgets do you use to listen to music? (earphone, headphone etc)

I’m pretty good with my AirPods and a SONY basic sound system at home. Sometimes I listen to vinyls, but I haven’t had much interest in buying expensive

Q: Do you have any forthcoming release of music?

Hopefully at the end of this year! A few different projects are waited to be shown to people.

Q:Please pick up 3 songs following the concept “MOOD NOW”. We also need the raw, pure and very moody reasons for each.

1) record: "Jazz Samba Encore" by Stang Getz and Luiz Bonfá I've been listening to this record throughout last year and this year. I used to listen to many vocal records before, but I realized music without vocals can be as expressive and powerful as vocals. "Jazz Samba Encore" is my summertime jam. As we know Stan Getz is more of a melancholic person, it brings a deeper and sentient feeling to the record. The mixing of this album is enchanting to me as well. They put a shaker and stick really in the front and hard-pan to one side. It almost sounds too stiff, but I love it. Some vocals arrive and depart throughout songs that are so make-sense and beautiful! Not to mention Luiz Bonfá's extraordinary guitar playing that brings the record alive. I recommend his solo record "Solo in Rio 1959" as well.

2) Record:"Blood Loss" by Puma Blue I didn't listen to this kinda moody, sensual music until the lockdown arrived. I guess quarantine really urged me to listen to more music! I describe Puma Blue as the male version of Sade. It's chill, sexy, and you feel a sense of infinity in his voice. The on-going midnight drive kinda vibe. I love how he uses his voice combined with moody saxophone playing in a classy way, not aggressive, causing no pressure to the listeners. This can be a nice netflix and chill record, just saying!

3) Song: "Tell Me" by 9m88 and Mitsu the Beats I worked on the song with Mitsu San at the end of last year. I've always wanted to work with him, and luckily, he generously made some beats for me to write this song"Tell Me". I was feeling down during that time. At the same time, the reality show "Terrace House" member Hana Kimura committed a suicide that stroke me. I decided to write the song trying to encourage people who suffer from life or other people's criticism. We have to come back home and think about what really matters to us. Not any others' thoughts, it's YOUR thoughts. I was glad Mitsu San was supportive to the idea and made a beautiful track that embodies his style and didn't take away the HipHop touch from it. I love the music video too!
